Konstantin Shvachko commented on HADOOP-5700:
---------------------------------------------
I agree with Nicholas. We should reverse the patch.
The problem is solved by a simple one line change:
{code}
/** Convert strings to byte arrays for path components. */
static byte[][] getPathComponents(String[] strings) {
- if (strings.length == 0) {
+ if (strings == null || strings.length == 0) {
return new byte[][]{null};
}
{code}
> INode.getPathComponents throws NPE when given a non-absolute path

> If you pass a path that doesn't start with '/' to INode.getPathComponents, it
> throws a NullPointerException. Instead it should throw
> IllegalArgumentException to make it clear that absolute paths are required in
> this code.
> The attached patch fixes this, clarifies, the javadoc, and adds a test case.
